different because no other cardinals from anywhere in the world were having briefings. one is they wanted to clamp down on outside talk. that's theory number one. the cardinals thought the americans were getting too much international publicity. we heard that's one of the reasons. whatever the case the news conferences stopped, and the cardinals continued to speak publicly, but not in a formal setting. >> thanks, randall, for joining us live from vatican city. tickets are going fast for seats at the new 49er stadium set to open in the fall. >> corporations and fans have spent $403 million on tickets, the most expensive seats are already gone, like the luxury boxes and club seats at midfield. average ticket prices are

the 30s. we'll head over toward mt. diablo. that would be beautiful today. the visibilities out there should be terrific. sunny and chilly to start with. temperatures in the 30s and 40s this morning. we'll warm it up up to about the 50s. 37 in santa rosa and san jose, 32-degree, livermore, 38. we've got a nice day on tap for the bay area. today we get highs in the 60s. but the high will migrate closer to the shoreline. as it does, we'll warm well into the 70s this week. the numbers won't set record highs but it will be plenty warm. and the futurecast for today shows a few little watches of clouds stuck to the peninsula. aside are the that, as time marchs on, the clouds melt and we look at a sunny day today. a few clouds drift in later in the day for monday, but for monday, sunday lives up to its

on. >> joining us live is state senator mark leno. >> good morning. >> good morning. what is the point of this bill? >> for years now the top priority for the neighborhood surrounding the area is to get the gun show out of cow palace. we've tried to ban them. senator spear a few years ago -- actually nine years ago introduced the first bill. i got a bill to schwarzenegger's desk. he vetoed it. we're not trying to ban anything now. as repeated, keep the decision making closer to those who will be impacted by the decision made. >> let's be honest here. you're out to ban gun shows at the cow palace. you're just saying rather than the state doing it, we want to give the locals the power to do it, but the ultimate goal is to ban gun shows. my question is why? >> the bill will require that the board of supervisors of each county, even though the land is own by the state,

approve a resolution saying we support a gun show. i can't tell you who's going to be elected 30, 50 years from now. if there was a change of heart and they wanted it -- >> let's cut to the chase. the point is you don't want gun shows at the cow palace. i want to know why. 18,000 people show up. most of them or all of them appear to be law abiding. they're following the gun control laws of the state of california. why do you want them banned? or is this just a political statement? >> i asked the question to your audience, raise your hand if you would like a gun show across the street from your home? raise your hand if you would like a gun show across the street from your child's school. the neighborhood does not want it. why are we not listening to what the neighborhood wants in why are we, the state, imposing it on a community that does not have that inits community values? that's the point. >> okay. but the critics of your proposal say san francisco is a place where you declare days in honor of porn stars, you hand out needles to drug addicts on

demand. what's the logic is this. >> this is not me. i'm representing my constituents who don't want the gun shows. we're talking about neighborhoods who live in virtual war zones. the highest rate of gun murders are in these neighborhoods. they don't want the glamourization, commercialization of guns right in their front yard, and that's what's going on. >> on. >> okay. if the cow palace is controlled by the state, why don't we move to have the state ban gun shows from its facilities. >> we tried that. arnold schwarzenegger vetoed a bill that would do just that. this is a reasonable approach. it's about local control. it's just about local control. again, governor brown's whole theme, let the decision making be closer to the people who will be affected by this vision. >> this is interesting to note. this is something else you were involved in. while we talk about guns and

wanting to ban them. the state had a program for picking up the guns that are being illegally held by felons, sex offenders, and mentally disturbed people. yet the governor stripped tens of millions of dollars out of that fund in order to balance their budget. and thanks to you, we got the money back, but what does it say to the arguments of people who say why don't we enforce the laws that we have now rather than putting these new restrictions on it? >> well, what we're doing to the gun show at the cow palace has nothing to do with restricting ownership, but you're talking about the fact that there are about 40,000 weapons, including 1600 assault weapons in the hands of people who can legally not possess them. >> right. >> so it's the job of the department of justice and the attorney general to confiscate those weapons. >> but they stripped them of the funds na that program. >> we had to cut everything out of general fund spending a few

years back. there's a pot of money with that million dollars of surplus in that that the attorney general can use to -- >> but you guys took the money and used it elsewhere and then after newtown came back and said, we made a mistake. we have to give the money back. >> no. no. we borrowed some money from the account. there's still a $25 million surplus. we're just going to use 24 of that right now to give to the attorney general to confiscate weapons you don't want people to have who are felons. >> right, but doing it a year or two ago rather than stripping the funds for it. >> she's been doing it on an ongoing basis. we want money that's just sitting there unused. >> well, i'm glad you did it and got the money back, but i still think if you enforce the laws you have. >> i'm not going to interfere with you. >> rather than asking for new ones. anyway, thanks for stopping by

and taking a beating this morning. >> of course. >> back to you, anne. >> thanks, guys. the alternative to the massive tent city that was recently broken up in san jose. we're going to talk about why some say they would rather camp outside. next, the challenges for the homeless population in the south bay. we'll be right back.

of people is that people choose to be homeless. >> no. this kind of happens to you. i'm educated. we had moms and dads here christmas morning. this is what happens. >> the city said it's made shelters available to everyone in this encampment. >> they still have a shortcoming of two-thirds. there's one gentleman out here that says 1,000 shelter beds, 6,000 homeless people. that's not far off. >> the cause sometimes is often alcoholism, mental illness. >> you have a small disaster. this one is economic, and then you end up with people walking around looking like refugees inside the borders of the united states. >> and a lot of them did go to emergency shelter beds, but they're saying a lot of the problems with that is there's bed bugs. you have to enter a lottery to

get one of those beds, and a lot of them don't want to abide by the rules they're in. >> and a lot of them don't want to go to shelters. meanwhile, all eyes on the vatican this morning. cardinals are getting ready to elect a pope, coming up next. we'll be right back. cardinals prepare to seal hey. they're coming. yeah. british. later. sorry. ok...four words... scarecrow in the wind... a baboon... monkey? hot stew saturday!? ronny: hey jimmy, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? jimmy: happier than paul revere with a cell phone. ronny: why not? anncr: get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.
